I started typing this blog a week ago in a word document, and it veered off into so many directions that I can't remember my focus to begin with. I've decided to just start typing in wiki at this point so that I can get something posted before class. Bare with me because I am going to do an experiment with my computer in eliminating use of the backspace key. -hopefully something good will come out so here I go sitting here on my couch at 11:30 on Friday before class realizing that all of these starts and stops happened for a reason. How do I percieve writing and do I translate that perception to my students? How can it when they never see me writing the way I ask them to? Do I sit and open up a notebook when they are asked to write a prompt-do I sit at a computer and moldel creative writing? Then how can I ask this of mt students? Here is the problem I can see just in trying to get my thoughts out over the last week because i have taken so much time off from creative writing I complicate the process becuase there are so many thoughts that have not been entertained in years I don't know what I expected-when you abandon your love for so many years it grows more resentful and less forgiving to take you back and accept your apologies. You have to work harder to earn its trust and be respoectful when its limits have been pushed okay-i thnk the guilt I feel in turning my back on writing is clear and I am hoping that this feeling marches to the forefront of my mind the next time I pchoose to leave the writing for another day Do I share this with my students...would any of you? I'm not sure if it would be appropriate. Does any of this even make sense to anyone but me or do I just sound like a rambling writer???
